General comments from last week- then this week's schedule...

A few words:
generally, last week was pretty good...
HOWEVER...

1. The bus ( which wasn't really anybody's fault) was a disaster! I appreciate
how everyone tried to co-operate and make the best of a bad situation. Many
thanks to the parents ( and others) who provided ( or offered) rides home from Tullahoma.
We were blessed with heroes who stepped in to bail us out .

2. If you do not know the words or motions to the cheers on the yellow cheer board... I am not
exactly sure of what to say to you! Get with it, or be benched! (a freshman and a sophomore in particular)
if you mess up... IT ISN'T FUNNY...stop laughing about it, don't roll your eyes and throw up
your hands.. I assure you that the adults in
the crowd DO NOT think you are cute when you don't know what you are doing... You've had since MARCH!
(a sophomore ....)

3. Moving your arms and smiling IS NOT LEADING CHEERS!
Quit doing that! "I'm tired, I don't feel well, oh- I wasn't thinking" does not make a difference...CHEER! If you don't
like something that has happened (or not happened) it isn't your place to get mad and pouty and not cheer! I will
see to things that I feel aren't going well--you aren't the coach!
(a senior, a freshman, a sophomore)

4. If you feel that people should be careful not to speak to you in public in a way which you feel is disrespectful, and you are upset by it,
don't turn around and curse at anyone (especially a team mate) in public yourself...!
This will be addressed further this week, I assure you!

5. At tryouts I made special arrangements with a few members about sharing their
time with other activities. This is quickly becoming a problem as more and more other things seem
to be taking precidence over THE SPIRIT TEAM... ( I am NOT refering to family emergencies or illnesses).
Do not announce that you will be taking more time than aggreed on, do not add new activities at this late date to
take you away from US! We need EVERYBODY at all practices humanly possible!
I doubt seriously that this arrangement will ever be permitted again. The band, the football team, nor the basketball teams allow this.
Do not abuse it.
